Suggest buying a copy of the book, “THE REEL MOSE” by Earl Moseley (ISBN 0-9617510-0-2). It’s an excellent autobiography of projectionist Earl Moseley in the heyday of film projection in the south and being in the Projectionists union. Highly recommended.

Oasis Entertainment took over operation of the theater in late 1999 from A Theatre Near You, Inc. and upgraded the sound to DTS digital.
